Notes [#notes]

Accessibility [#accessibility]

termcn exposes the following behavior through Ink's terminal accessibility APIs. This is not a browser ARIA or general WCAG-conformance claim.

* **Screen reader:** Ink labels and semantic state expose the component without relying on visual styling alone.
